Chapter 83

The other two men drew closer, their expressions hesitant.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

"People in our line of work already carry our own lives dangling between our legs."

"It took us a lot of effort to finally catch such a fat sheep!"

"How could we let it go?"

"This brat has over a million Beri on him. If we could take him hostage, couldn't we threaten the family behind him into paying even more Beri?"

"When that time comes, we'll strike it rich, and won't need to do this sort of dirty work for the rest of our lives."

The blue-haired man gritted his teeth, his creeping dread gradually being suppressed by greed.

Hearing this,

the other two men hurriedly nodded in agreement.

In the end, greed still outweighed fear.

All three stared at Lu En with ravenous intensity, as if they wished they could kidnap him on the spot.

"Brat…"

"The fact that you didn't seize the chaos to escape on your own was absolutely the worst choice you've ever made in your life."

The blue-haired man stared fixedly at the Beri tucked in Lu En's arms.

"I'm very curious…"

"Why is it that ever since you all showed up, all those ill-intentioned gazes around me have completely vanished without a trace?"

"Can you answer that for me?"

Lu En asked, mildly curious.

"Brat, looks like your powers of observation aren't bad."

"No harm in telling you."

"That's naturally because…"

"Behind us stands a boss of great renown! Across the entire Luo Ge Town, in the underground world, no one dares to provoke our boss!"

"So, ever since you became our prey, those guys naturally wouldn't dare to make any rash moves against you. Because, you're our prey — no one dares to take you away!"

The blue-haired man's face was full of pride.

"Your boss? Who is it?"

Lu En smiled.

He continued, "If you don't mind, take me to meet your boss, how about it?"

Instantly,

a strange look flickered in the blue-haired man's eyes.

It was the first time he had ever encountered this.

Someone daring enough to actively request a meeting with his own boss!

This kid…

Must be crazy, right?

Doesn't he know that his boss is the dark ruler of the underground world in Luo Ge Town?!

"Brat, you've really got some nerve."

The blue-haired man gave Lu En a long, deep look.

After a while,

he pondered for a moment, then scoffed coldly: "Since you're asking for death, I'll grant your wish. If you're not afraid of dying, then follow me — I'll take you to meet our boss."

In his view,

Lu En was clearly seeking death on his own!

Since that's the case…

he'd grant the other party their wish!

Perfectly,

bringing this fat sheep back to present to the boss — the boss would surely reward him for it.

"Then I'll trouble you gentlemen to lead the way."

Lu En's smile didn't fade, calm and composed.

"Move!"

The blue-haired man signaled his two companions with a look.

In an instant,

the blue-haired man walked ahead alone, Lu En followed in step, and the two younger men walked behind, as if afraid Lu En might seize the chance to escape.

One in front, one behind,

completely cutting off every route Lu En could use to escape!

But in fact,

they had all guessed wrong.

From the very beginning, Lu En had never had any intention of escaping.

On the contrary,

he truly did want to go and see for himself.

The dark ruler who dominated the underground world of Luo Ge Town!

To see just what sort of He Fangshensheng the other party actually was!

How dare they set their sights on him?

The smile on Lu En's face grew even more playful.

Since he'd run into them.

Then he'd play along with these toys properly.

Anyway,

there was plenty of time.

Bogart leading a batch of Marines to resupply in Luo Ge Town would surely take at least a few hours.

And during those few hours, Lu En was naturally free to move about as he pleased.

Right now,

he wanted to use this amusing group of pirates…

To kill some time!

Not long after.

Under the blue-haired man's lead.

Lu En followed the three men to a remote stretch of wilderness southeast of Luo Ge Town.

They had walked roughly three or four kilometers.

Completely leaving the bustling streets of Luo Ge Town behind.

Not a soul in sight,

barren hills and wild country,

desolate and uninhabited,

a stretch of utter solitude.

A cold, eerie atmosphere hung over this place.

"Brat, you scared now?"

"Too bad…"

"Thinking of running now? Too late!"

The blue-haired man turned around, sneering coldly at Lu En. "Want to meet our boss? Fine, I'll grant your wish right now! Later on, don't you dare piss yourself in terror!"

"Our boss…"

"Is a famous great pirate on these seas!"

The next second,

he walked up to the entrance of a massive tavern,

standing before the great doors, the raucous noise from inside the tavern could be heard clearly.
